But instead we have made this huge circle where every small special interest group is cow-tailed to and the rights of the majority are trompled. No one seems to think anything of telling Christians and Jews they can no longer pray in school, yet Muslims are given space to ensure their 5 times a day prayers are met during the school day. We are having historic buildings "vandalized" to remove references to God and the 10 Commandments, yet bend over backwards for other religions, cultures, etc.... I just do not think we need to remove all vestiges of God to appease those who do not believe. If they have some other belief they should be free to have that expressed too but no one should have to closet their beliefs! JMO and I have nothing against anyone's beliefs -- I just think all should be free to express them. |
I agree 100%, somewhere along the line, we've gotten upside down. The whole idea behind the constitution was that government was supposed to stay out of religion, not religion stay out of government. My DH and I were just remarking the other day that schools can teach the Koran and other religious books in the name of literature and philosophy but the Bible cannot seem to be taught for any reason.. At any rate. I believe this country has moved too far to the politically correct left to solve the problem, it is at this point unsolvable. I am not a hard core right winger. I believe there is a middle ground of reason and judgement. Sadly, we missed it someplace.
